Caution:
this model is not a toy!
If you are a beginner to this type of powered model, please ask an ex-
perienced model flyer for help and support. If you attempt to operate the aero-
plane without knowing what you are doing, you could easily injure yourself or
some-body else. Please keep your safety and well-being in mind at all times.
Important: before you start construction
Even if you have already built a large number of RC models please read right
through these instructions and check that all the kit components are actually
present. We have taken great trouble to keep construction as simple as pos-
sible, without making any compromises in the area of safety.
Note regarding the film covering
Minor creases or bubbles may develop in the film covering due to major
fluctuations in weather conditions (temperature, humidity etc.); in rare cases
you may even find a slight warp in a component. These minor faults are in the
nature of film-covered built-up wooden structures, and can easily be corrected
using a heat gun, as commonly used for modelling.
Creases:
Blow warm air over the area and rub down with a soft cloth.
Wing warp:
Hold the panel twisted gently in the opposite direction to the
warp, and apply warm air to remove the creases from the covering.
Caution! do not heat the film more than is absolutely necessary. If the air or
the iron is too hot, the film may melt and holes may be formed.
This aeroplane is highly pre-fabricated and can be built in a very short time.
However, the work which you have to carry out is important and must be done
carefully. The model will only be strong and fly well if you complete your tasks
competently - so please work slowly and accurately.
When self-tapping screws have to be screwed into wood, apply a little
white glue to prevent them shaking loose: just squirt white glue into the
hole before fitting the screw.
